If it were me, I would do First in the Square. You just don't have as many opportunities to fly First class as good as ANA and when the chance arises, it's worth it.
Thank you for the very elaborate response. I was/am leaning the same way, just wanted to get everyone's temperature on new hard product vs. better class service.
